California lawmakers on Monday approved a “Trump-proofing” bill package that includes $50 million in state funding to challenge President Trump’s policies in court and provide legal aid for illegal aliens. Californians are being threatened by an out-of-control administration in Washington that doesn’t care about the Constitution, that thinks there are no limits to its path. Here in California, there are 1.8 million undocumented people [illegal aliens]. People who pay about $8.5 billion in state and local taxes every single year. They raise families, and they contribute to our communities. These law-abiding [Not, they entered the country illegally] immigrants [illegal aliens], they are Californians [Not] — they are not criminals [Illegally entering the country makes them criminals]. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas

President Trump is delaying tariffs on Canada for 30 days due to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau agreeing to appoint a fentanyl czar and place 24/7 security officers on the border. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan, reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a fentanyl czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau

After Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized Panama on Sunday, the country is offering free passage for US warships through the Panama Canal, and its withdraw from China’s "Belt & Road" lending program. I don't imagine that will be enough to satisfy.

Big deal here.........The U.S. will create its own Sovereign Wealth Fund. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14356135/Donald-Trump-Tik-Tok-sovereign-wealth-fund.html

I told you this was going to mushroom into something big. I expect much more to come. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14355251/shocking-ways-usaid-spent-money.html

Elon Musk has reportedly taken over the Treasury Department’s central payment system, putting him in the position to unilaterally cut off federal funding to disfavored programs and setting off accusations that the U.S. is about to descend into a constitutional crisis. The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department, David Lebrynk, was put on administrative leave by the Trump administration Friday after he refused to give representatives of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access to the department’s central payments system.

The U.S. and Mexico have agreed to delay the implementation of tariffs for one month. Mexico agreed to send 10,000 national guard troops to the border to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into the US. The U.S. agreed to prevent the trafficking of weapons to Mexico.

Elon Musk said overnight that he and Mr. Trump were in full agreement that USAID should be shut down. “I actually checked with him a few times,” Musk said. “I said, ‘Are you sure?’ ‘Yes.’ So we’re shutting it down.” We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. It became apparent that it's not an apple with a worm it in. What we have is just a ball of worms. You've got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It's beyond repair. We're shutting it down.

Bessent and Musk are forcing their way in at USAID, "following the money". This is going to be big, corruption and money numbers you can't imagine. It is said that USAID is overwhelmingly made up of Democrats (people alike Schumer and Schiff). Officially, USAID gave over $40 billion, US taxpayer money, and without our consent and knowledge, to 130 countries in 2023. But I suspect Team Bessent/Musk will uncover far larger numbers. U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast says USAID should be put under the State Department to command and control it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14353621/elon-musk-doge-billions-government-department-criminal-organization.html The President discovered we gave corruption-ridden South Africa $440 million in 2023.

We've all learned never to take anything at face value. Perhaps the tariffs are about immigration and fentanyl. And perhaps not. The President, a smart man, knew they'd hit back. So what is his next move? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14351137/Mexican-president-orders-retaliatory-tariffs-against-U-S.html This is very interesting. Bessent and Musk are under orders to search for evidence of something. It smells like something very big that would be extremely........revealing. Imagine they shock the American people with irrefutable proof of.......a holy grail moment. That could empower this administration to "go all the way". https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14352411/elon-musk-gains-access-treasury-department-payment-system.html

Vice President Vance says some reporters covering the Trump White House are biased, perhaps even Democratic propagandists. and the new administration will keep a close eye on those asking questions at press briefings. I actually think that we are looking very seriously about which reporters show up, because if you’re a reporter, even if you’re biased toward the left, absolutely we want to answer your questions. [But] if you’re a propagandist for the Democratic Party, then we’re going to treat you like a propagandist for the Democratic Party. Vice President Vance

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said today that President Trump on Saturday will implement 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and 10% tariffs on China, as a response the countries failing to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants into the U.S. She denied an earlier report from Reuters that said the tariffs won’t take effect until March 1. The stock market isn't crashing but it's heading south as a result. There's some bargains to be had.

This new video appears to show the UH-60 ramming the CRJ. Does anyone see other? How could the UH-60 have not seen the CRJ? .

The UH-60 was definitely flying VFR. And weather was ideal allowing excellent visibility. I read the two aircraft were on different radio frequencies, but I expected an Army helo to be. https://www.twz.com/air/mid-air-collision-shines-light-on-doomsday-plans-for-nations-capital

The collision took place as AA5342 was on its final approach to Reagan National shortly before 9pm ET. That night, a single air traffic controller was left to handle both helicopter traffic and manage planes - which should have been a divided duty - according to The New York Times. Those tasks are usually handled between two people from 10am until 9:30pm. After 9:30pm the duties are typically combined and left to one person as the airport sees less traffic later in the night. A supervisor decided to combine those duties before the scheduled cutoff time however, and allowed one air traffic controller to leave work early. The FAA says that staffing configuration 'was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic'. It remains unclear why the supervisor allowed the worker to clock off early on Wednesday night, just before the midair collision. The Army helicopter deviated from its approved flight path. It was not on its approved route and flying higher than it should have been. Approval had been given for the helicopter to fly no higher than 200 feet along the east side of the Potomac River, where it would have avoided the CRJ700. The pilot of the helicopter confirmed sight of the American Airlines flight and was told to stick to their predetermined route and go behind the plane. But the pilot did not stick to the path. He was a half-mile off course as well as being at an altitude above 300 feet. A senior Army official told The Times that the pilot of the Black Hawk had flown the route before and was well aware of the tight altitude restrictions and routes. Five current and former controllers said the lone controller in the tower should have been more proactive in directing the two away from each other. One day earlier, also at Reagan National, Republic Airways Flight 4514 was forced to abort landing and do a fly-around when a helicopter approached its flight path.

Bloomberg / January 29, 2025 President Trump has boasted about bringing a more transactional approach to his relationship with world leaders. Just over a week into his second term, many have shown they’re eager to make the deals he treasures. Saudi Arabia offered to invest more than $600 billion in the next four years while European governments will look to purchase more US-produced liquefied natural gas. Vietnam’s leader suggested his country might buy more Boeing planes. And India raised the possibility of importing more oil. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/trump-s-transanctional-foreign-policy-leads-to-flurry-of-pledges
